Uses them Christos, Lanolin especially when she was helping me not actually doing her own stuff.

Silk is such APIA at times catches onto anything. Has even used gloves which proved dangerous.

So woodwork stopped unless I need a hand.

Surely she could give up her silk distraction.

Not when it is supplied and paid for her only commission work on going ATM each garment takes at least 6 to 8 weeks to design and knit.

Oh forgot the Malamute and Alpaca she is working with also.

I've seen her work and it's terriffic. Maybe you should turn a pair of knitting needles and give her a hand! (still pulling your leg).

Would that be pulling my leg about the needles or giving her a hand ( I used to knit when I was a kid) I was very proficient at the drop stitch

The Missus (whoops, try "My better looking half) likes coming to wood shows, and I like going to quilt shows with her.
Only problem is when I go anywhere there is material I start yawning..."I'm just alergic to fabric dear, honest - but I really like being here - I'll just put up with my debilitating allergy just to keep you happy...dear..(yawn)... the things we do..

What should be occupying your mind is wood projects like Quilt racks, tables, frames. Looking at patterns for ideas in marquetry, scroll saw etc.

MBGitW does not go to the show with me, we have our separate interests and it gives us more to talk about at night.

Is the talking done while your on the forum Pat

Besides your spending partner/s go with you and the crowed is growing.

My partner would be bored witless with the Wood show, and then you get"can we go now? Haven't you seen everything?"

When my father (former cabinet maker) was alive I took him a few times and he enjoyed it, but now I go alone. Also, there is no one to nag me when I get chips for lunch!

I have also gone by myself but found that I did not spend as much time at the show as I would have when I went with another person.

My partner would be bored out of her brain. She does support my interest though, even supplying cash for purchases. "Go buy yourself something I'd find boring." Can't argue with that!

They can come as long as they don't cramp your style, cramp your spending and don't end up like children going "can we go now? you've already looked at that twice!"

SWMBO asks, "When is your next woodworking show?"

Translation - "When are you going to the next AWFS convention in LasVegas?"

She wouldn't be caught dead on the show floor.
